On My Fathers Side chords by The Village Singers

On My Father's Side  Recorded by The Village Singers Written by Felecia Shiflett


G            C
Just a young boy in the temple one day
G                  D7
Shared with the doctors they were so amazed
G             C       G
Never had they seen one so young speak so swift
                 D7           G
They asked him many questions the conversation went like this



2 What's your name son
   C            G
On my mother?s side my name is Jesus
     D7             G
But on my Father?s side they call me Emmanuel

3 How old are you
   C           G
On my mother?s side now I'm twelve years
     D7           G
But on my Father?s side I've just always been


4 Where you from
   C           G
On my mother?s side I'm from Bethlehem
     D7           G
But on my Father?s side it's New Jerusalem


5 What's your plan
   C           G
On my mother?s side I'll be crucified
     D7
But on my Father?s side in three days I'll arise
              G
And I'll sit by my Father?s side


           C
He was the Son of God yet the son of man
G                        D7
And I can't help but wonder how Joseph must have felt
G                C       G
Through an open door that day he heard his son reply
               D7          G
You see I'm the King of Kings that?s on my Father?s side

repeat  2, 3, 4, 5
